Understanding Elevator Violations

What Triggers an Elevator Violation in Manhattan?

Manhattan buildings receive elevator violations for missed inspections, unsafe conditions, or DOB filing issues. The most common types are ECB and PVT violations — both of which can lead to fines, elevator shutdowns, or legal problems if not resolved quickly.

Violation Types

ECB Violation

Issued by the Environmental Control Board, typically for overdue inspections, missing reports, or repeat safety concerns.

PVT Violation

Stands for Private Violation Ticket. Issued by a licensed inspection agency when an elevator fails to meet safety or regulatory standards.

"Violations can lead to major disruptions, but we know how to fix them fast and file everything right."
